Will Davis - update #4

Santa finally visited the Davis family last night! The kids were excited and were happy to have Will home. The home health nurses check in on them two times per day to observe the administering of the medicine and check his vitals, breathing, etc.

The medicine takes one hour to administer (through a controlled pump system into the port) and I found out today that it costs $370 PER DAY out of pocket! To make matters worse, his $2500 PER PERSON deductible starts over tomorrow... when the New Year begins. (Insert your own opinion about our health care system now.)

If he continues to remain stable, they will leave for San Antonio on Friday morning with all four kids in the Suburban. They plan to arrive home Sunday night with all the stops required.

On a lighter note, Cara can now feel the new baby moving in her tummy. She will be glad to resume her pre-natal care as soon as she gets home. That little guy or girl will be entering into the most amazing family.

Thank you (again!) for considering assisting the family in this time of need. E-mail me directly or leave a comment if you are interested in offering a gas card, gift card, check, or want to send a greeting card of encouragement. They are so incredibly appreciative!

When little Davis gets home play him this song for me (okay, play it for his mom because he probably won't sit for it). The video starts off a little slow with some talking, but about about 1:43 into it is the song. It really does seem to fit right into the Davis' situation.

Here comes the sun for Will...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Davis family.
